I'm suffering from a traumatic experience

Many people who have some kind of traumatic experience later go on to suffer from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Most commonly, this is associated with members of the Armed Forces or Veterans who have fought in conflict, but they aren’t the only ones who can suffer. PTSD can form as the result of many situations, such as:

Prolonged sexual or physical abuse

Violent personal attack e.g. sexual assault, robbery or mugging

Major road accident

Terrorist attack

Being held hostage

Active combat
